According to the Metro, Arsenal are interested in signing highly-rated young Sassuolo striker Domenico Bernardi this summer.

The 20-year-old is currently co-owned by the Serie A minnows and reigning champions Juventus, but it seems that Italian champions are unlikely to exercise their right to sign the youngster. Bernardi has never actually appeared for Juventus and spent the last three seasons with the Neroverdi.

Co-owned

The Gunners could sign the highly-rated striker for a fee in the region of £11million, as co-ownership is being abolished as of the summer transfer window in Italy. That means if Juventus do not exercise their right to sign the striker this summer, then Sassuolo can sell the striker to whoever they wish. .......Read more here.....

Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla has been in fantastic form this season, and has become one of the most effective playmakers in the division as a result of his performances, but where does the Spanish international rank among his competition?

Making 29 Premier League appearances, scoring seven goals and making eight assists from 63 chances, Cazorla has been Arsenal’s most creative force, and has successfully adapted to playing as a deep-lying midfielder.

The German international cost Arsenal £42.5M in the summer of 2013 from Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid, but hasn’t proven he was worth such outlay yet.

Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has enjoyed a bittersweet season for the London outfit. He’s shown signs of progression, and has enjoyed some moments of individual brilliance for club and country, but there are still question marks about his best position, and he‘s still yet to become a regular starter for the Gunners and England.

The former Southampton youngster, 21, has played the majority of his games as a wide midfielder due to his excessive pace, dribbling skills and industrious nature. He not only provides protection to his fullback, he can also press his opposite number high up the pitch. But in addition to his impressive work rate, Oxlade-Chamberlain is engrained in the Arsenal mould. He can play at a high intensity, creates chances for the forwards, and is very versatile. .......Read more here.....
